Battery storage system for smallcommunity Seathor & Mateusz&Jure Akureyri, 18.6.2009
Table of content • Site with description • Wind resources and utilization • Load modelling • Intermittency issues • Battery design • Conclusions
Wind resources and utilization • System location: Cleveland • 5 wind turbines (each 2MW) connected to grid and battery bank • Average wind velocity 8,08 m/s ch Power curve
Households hourly load modelling • Small community with 1000 households • Average hourly load per household 2,88 kW Average hourly electricity load for most critical month
Problem • How to meet energy needs, when there is not enought energy from wind turbines?
Problem Production kWh/yr % Wind turbines 59,509,440 98 Grid purchases 1,193,459 2
Battery stack properties Strings in parallel 3,157 Battery stack performance
Battery design • Nominal capacity 23,993 kWh • Usable nominal capacity 14,396 kWh • Autonomy 5.03 hr
Battery storage advantages • Grid parallel configuration • High system efficiency • Low maintenance • Low noise • Zero emission • Long lifetime <4500 cycles
Conclusions • We were not modelling costs • In general, if connection to the grid is available, one does not use batteries. • We designed our batteries to cower basic load during summer time low production from wind turbines • Peak power was provided by the grid. • Excess power was sold to the grid as well
